My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
She was an abandoned dog by my friend's children and they stopped taking care of her. She was malnourished and not taken care of correctly. She does have a bump where the umbilical cord was. I think this was due to it not be removed fully. So we had took her in and have try many ways to accommodate her needs. She is friendly and needy for attention. She has this what we call shakira dance when she gets excited. However since we already have pets. It has caused my wife's allergies to go thru the roof and now with my wife's mom going thru chemo due to breast cancer for the second time makes it really difficult to care for. We really need help here.
